Nowadays, many people suffer from iodine deficiency. Globally, a very large number of 1.5 billion people suffer from iodine deficiency. According to statistics, more than 800 million people are experiencing endemic goiter and other diseases of the thyroid gland. Unfortunately, these indicators are increasing instead of decreasing over the years. Especially in the countries of Central Asia, these diseases and iodine deficiency are common, one of the reasons for this is explained by the lack of seas in the territory of Central Asia. Iodine deficiency has several negative effects on growth and development and is the most common cause of preventable mental retardation in the world. Dysfunction of the thyroid gland, in turn, leads to iodine deficiency. Even when we eat iodine, our iodine needs are not met. As a result, the thyroid gland increases its activity, and the gland becomes 20-30-50 times larger. Iodine deficiency can lead to negative consequences such as retardation of physical and mental development, reproductive health disorders. For the treatment of this disease, iodine-retaining substances such as iodamarin and iodofol are used.
